ABSTRACT
With the arrival of the era of Industry 4.0, the development of technologies such as Internet of Things and others has gradually been implemented in daily life. The Artificial Internet of Things can be used for STEM teaching. Its integrates the comprehensive knowledge and application of technology in the fields of science, machinery, mathematics, information and artificial intelligence.The middle school stage is a critical period for young people to develop STEM career interests, especially for the high school students. Not only they should experience an important exploratory process of choosing a department at the university but also they need to cultivate their career interest and career decision-making abilities for career preparation. However, there are few opportunities for students to actively explore their interests and integrate practical skills and hence most high school students have a huge cognitive gap between their interests in future career and their background knowledge. Therefore, this research uses the 6E model combined with the self-efficacy strategies in order to enable students to participate more actively in class discussions and complete their practical works with the help of their peers, thereby accumulating a sense of accomplishment and gaining better learning performance. According to the results, we can find that there are significant differences in STEM career interest, IoT knowledge and hands-on ability. Besides, it also shows that students in the 6E model combined with the self-efficacy strategies group can have good STEM career interest and learning effectiveness, which can help them in the development of related STEM careers in the future.
